Hi guys wondering if anyone had some suggestions for me on this build I'm about to start, maybe some advice? Was thinking to go for a street fighter look.

Welcome to the forum.
Hope I'm not stating anything TOO obvious, but a good place to start would be to add a front wheel, an engine, fuel tank, etc., etc., etc.
Seriously, unless you have had this bike running recently and/or know its history, get it running first, THEN do your modifications.

Welcome to the site.
A search of the Project section will provide you with many different types of 650G restorations.
An excellent example http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...ghlight=gs650g2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

Ok so I take it guys here seem against the idea of creating a "one of a kind" gs. I bought the bike as a non runner from traffic dept 6 months ago and in 6 months after reading almost every thread on this site I still can't get the motor to idle nevermind run and the only things I haven't done is rings and stem seals, but I'm getting there. While I'm waiting to find spares that don't cost me an arm and leg I've decided to turn this into the gs of all time,, so with or without help from what I'm guessing are the best people to speak to atout a gs I'm on a mission. I'll send pictures of how it works outComment

There are indeed folks here that modify their bikes, and I have a couple myself that I'll be making "unique" in the next year or so, but there are a lot if "purists" here, and for good reason in my opinion. The GS is such a great bike and they are very well put together and not as common these days and when someone hacks up a clean example, only to then complain about how it doesn't run or ride right...
Do what you like, keep reading up, search and then ask questions if you need help - as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.----------------------------------------------------------------
